Nao Kosaka (Hinatazaka46) to release first photo book

Following fellow Hinatazaka46 member Kyoko Saito’s semi-nude photo book earlier in the year, now comes the news that Nao Kosaka is releasing her debut photo book.

The swimwear-themed book, “Kimi wa dare?” (Who are you?), will delight fans of the gentle-faced 18-year-old. Kosakana’s slender body is showcased in these bikini shots. Unfortunately, only one of the preview photos actually shows her in swimwear.

The book comes out in Japan on June 29.

We personally prefer our ladies with more experience and maturity, but we can see why Nao Kosaka has her fans: a pure-looking girl-next-door face.

Given her young age, Kosakana’s shoots have been on the tamer side of the spectrum so far, mostly playing up her cute rather than sexy appeal. It will be interesting to see how her image develops as she matures.
